snapshot: consider all snapshots in the parents' chains

There are no reasons to only consider full snapshot as a possible base for an
intermediate snapshot.  Now that the basic principles have been set, we can
start adding more levels of snapshots.

We now consider all snapshots in the parent's chains (full or intermediate).
This creates a chain of intermediate snapshots, each smaller than the previous
one.

# Effect On The Test Repository

In the test repository, we can see a decrease in the revlog size and slightly
shorter delta chain.

However, that approach creates snapshots more frequently, increasing the risk
of ending into problematic cases in very branchy repositories (not triggered
by the test repository). The next changesets will remove that risk by adding
logic that increases deltas reuse.
